Image Science Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies image, video, and signal processing as well as medical imaging.

AboutAbout the lab
Research on images, video, signals, and medical imaging
The Image Science Lab studies image, video, and multimedia signal processing, as well as medical imaging.
By drawing on new technologies such as imaging science, compressed sensing, and machine learning, together with its knowledge of established techniques built up over the years, the lab aims to contribute to the advancement of image processing.
In medical imaging, the lab works on techniques for producing images of structures inside the human body from data measured by devices such as CT and PET, and on image analysis that supports diagnosis.
Key terms
- Intelligent image sensing
- Technology for obtaining information beyond the image itself from an image sensor. This is the name the lab uses for it.
- Super-resolution
- Technology for creating a high-resolution image from a low-resolution image
- CAD (computer-aided diagnosis)
- Technology that analyzes medical images and processes them to make them easier to interpret for diagnosis, used to reduce the burden on physicians and to prevent lesions from being overlooked

*Illustrative imageIntelligent image sensing: obtaining information from images
The lab calls the technology for obtaining information beyond the image itself from the image sensors of cameras and video devices "intelligent image sensing." It studies super-resolution, all-in-focus image synthesis, computer vision for estimating the shape and distance of subjects, automatic correction of blur, and more.
*Illustrative imageMedical imaging and diagnostic support
Medical image processing broadly divides into medical imaging, which produces images of structures inside the human body from data measured by devices such as CT and PET, and CAD (computer-aided diagnosis). CAD processes medical images to make them easier to interpret for diagnosis, and is used to reduce the burden on physicians and to prevent lesions from being overlooked.
*Illustrative imageMultimedia signal processing
Signal processing is the technology of acquiring, processing, and analyzing signals. The resulting digital signals are applied to data compression, information embedding, information separation, and more. The lab studies methods such as fast transforms and integer transforms.
MembersFaculty
The members of the Image Science Lab consist of faculty, researchers, and students in the doctoral program, the master's program, and the undergraduate college.As of 2024
